From one developer to another, thought you'd like to know.

Are there really 31 days in October?
I just checked and it works - it was probably a glitch.

How does one know that E, N, I, O, X & R are award inventories?

Bill Gates and Microsoft seem to think so. And I checked with Mr. Torvalds, too, and he concurs.

Must have been a glitch as I'm seeing a result now. Any similar tricks for NW?

With NW, I wonder if it's worth the trouble...

SeatCounter

Been using SC now for a good month. This site rocks! ^

I also bookmarked their "Support SeatCounter ....." link. Whenever I go to Orbitz, Travelocity, etc. or need to go to a hotel or carrental website, I do it thru that link. There are even some airline links on there too. This way I guess SC gets a small "referral" commission, which I am glad to see going their way.

Thumbs down Zuji fare lister restricted to Zuji countries

Just in case anyone is checking, Zuji has apparently very recently (within past 2-3 days) restricted the fare lister to list fares only from countries that Zuji offers air fares from. Trying to search fares from Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka returns:
There are no available schedules between the selected cities.

A response to the Flyertalk barrage of bookings of the cheap Bucharest tickets?

Not sure how much of Mileage Run tool this can be but I now try to update a seat sale listing on a weekly basis at:

http://www.rewardsusatravel.com/seatsale.html

This might help some as a starting point to see perhaps what airlines may be putting on good fares but remember that in this day and age of FFP's that some Seat Sale fares only earn certain % of or no miles at all so please make sure that you find out all the details before your book (as FTers I'm sure most of you do! ) and as always YMMV

Please forgive if this is the wrong thread or forum, but it seemed the most appropriate.


I'm not interested in accruing frequent flyer miles, but I do want a tool that will let me see the cheapest time to fly to a destination within a wide range of dates, like Travelocity's old feature. I tried Zuji, but it gave me a nondescript error - I think it may be aware that PDX for departures is outside of its market.

Anyways, does anyone have a suggestion for this kind of tool? Thanks!

ITA software will do that with their month-long search

If at least one of the airports is in North America, check out FareCompare.com
